What have you been listening to?

Hot Rats by FRANK ZAPPA...! Glad someone is listening to Zappa. You're aware that's Don Van Vliet (CAPTAIN BEEFHEART) singing on "Willie The Pimp"?

It's raining here today, so I usually listen to something more subdued or even melancholic on rainy days: VLADO PERLEMUTER: Vlado Perlemuter RAVEL Piano Works Vol.2 (1979)

Should have included this one on my "top ten albums" list in that thread started by Torgo, but you know how it goes, you sometimes take for granted the things you love the most...there's at least one more album that I neglected to include on that list...

Tonight's albums:

Rear View Mirror (Greatest Hits 1991-2003) by Pearl Jam. They seem to be a band that people either straight up hate, or love. At least around here it is.

Nevermind by Nirvana. Classic album. And who knew Dave Grohl could be so good to have two great bands? Granted, he wasn't necessarily a driving creative factor for Nirvana, but still.

I'm starting to think that Allhallowsday and I visit some of the same online venues...

Right now, I'm listening to some horror-tinged surf-punk by The Coffin Daggers.

Today I bought the Peter Brötzmann Octet's Machine Gun. This has only been available in the US as an espensive import but today Atavisitc released a great expanded edition of the full session (plus a live recording). I mainly bought it out of curiosity, but so far I dig it. It's really vicious free-jazz.

I've also been enjoying some stuff I downloaded (when I have the money it's probably stuff I'll buy):

The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers
David Byrne - Rei Momo
Bruce Cockburn - Humans

Today, I'm in the mood for some classics:

Straight Outta Lynwood, by Weird Al Yankovic

Spend the Night, by The Donnas

Perhaps, but, that record is not evidence of such. I had it on vinyl (twice) dating to the 1970s. I've had the CD for probably 20 years.
Though quite different, here's another record that I listen to a lot when Autumn begins (and it feels like Autumn here in NJ these last few rainy days.)

Tonight:

Volume 1 by CKY

St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley

I highly reccomend both to anyone.

Midnight Oil's Breathe.

I do wonder if I am the only person who loves this band?

Right now I'm listening to the Erin's Keel CD by Whiskey Galore. It's pretty good trad celtic, but their rendition of "Star of the County Down" is ruined by a tin whistle playing in a wholly separate key.

HappyGilmore · August 22, 2007, 10:34:42 PM

Four by Blues Traveler.

Never Mind The Bollocks...Here's the Sex Pistols by The Sex Pistols
